Premium WiFi package

[matymil]

So I'm going on the Vista on April 7th and the next night is Wrestlemania. I see that it says Skype can be used on the premium wi-fi but from what ive been reading would it be safe to say that streaming would not work well? Thanks

it's just not fast enough, doing a whatsmyspeed test, I never got above 2 Mb.

Jeez that's not fast at all. Thank you for the info

Premium on Vista was under 2MB? That makes my decision pretty easy then.

Satellite internet always sucks. Apparently, they're going to be installing faster speeds on the ships.

I tried to find John Heald's announcement from last month about the new satellite service they are installing on their ships, starting with Vista... but I couldn't find it. But supposedly it's going to be on a par with internet service most will get at home...

When?

How?

Found the announcement, just not from John Heald:

 

In a much needed update, Carnival Cruise Line upgraded the internet speed and bandwidth on one of their cruise ships this past week and has plans to add this upgrade to every cruise ship in their fleet.

The upgrade was given to Carnival Vista, the newest cruise ship in Carnival’s fleet. With the increase in speed and bandwidth, guests will now have little trouble stream video and uploading photos to the internet. John Heald, Carnival Cruise Line’s brand ambassador, said that guests have been extremely pleased with the faster speeds now offered on board the vessel.

The price for internet plans will remain the same even with the increase in speeds. The prices are as follows:

• Social WiFi Plan: $5 per day
  
• Value WiFi Plan: $12 per day
  
• Premium WiFi Plan: $17.70 per day
  
• Price is based on cruise-long plans and may vary throughout the fleet
  

While Carnival Cruise Line has yet to release a schedule for the rollout of these new increased internet speeds, Heald said that the cruise line will be adding it to the rest of the ships in the fleet over the next few weeks/months.

You just gotta find the “sweetspot” basically For example I sailed on the liberty Internet won’t work good around the guess service floor but it worked super fast inside the casino

Apparently they upgraded vista WiFi in February. Was your experience before or after the upgrade?

It'd be cool if John would let us know the rollout schedule :)
